<P class=MsoPlainText> I am posting this with the kind
permission of
the list owner. I apologize to those who are seeing this multiple times on
other
lists. I am trying to get the word out, so am utilizing as many avenues as
possible.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> Please also only respond via the contact
link
or my direct email address in the info, and not to this list.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>I thank you in advance for your attention and any
interest.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> I have mentioned here in the
past
that I was interested in pursuing holding online courses of various kinds in
the
future. I got a bit sidetracked and caught up in several other projects and
tasks, but I have slowly been contemplating and pondering the subject as
time
has passed.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> What I would like to do is first
offer
some free courses to help current users or potential users of the Mac and
iDevices get themselves started or familiar with a lot of the basics in an
easy,
straight forward in systematic manner. With the current circumstances
created by
the COVID19 pandemic, I also think free courses would be helpful to many and
appreciated as well. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> Obviously, if this project gains
interest, it
will expand and include several intermediate and advanced areas of material
regarding the Mac or iDevices. I have plenty of ideas and thoughts, but it
will
basically depend on the response from the community and the interest of
users.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> With that all said, let me present
my
ideas and thoughts as they stand now. Please do pass this information along
to
as many possibly interested people you know and share it with them
all.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>The How<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> I plan to hold these courses
in
some kind of online or telephone manner. This will come down to what the
general
consensus of the interested people feel is best. I am looking at Free
Conference
Calls as one possible avenue, while other conferencing solutions, such as
Zoom,
has been suggested by many, along with a few others, including Microsoft
Teams
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>The When<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> At the moment, I'd like to start
doing
something in May. Specifically, the weeks of the 11th or 18th are potential
starting points. Again, though, this will depend on the number of people
interested and their suggestions.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>The What<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> As far as the material I plan
to
present, here are some initial topics I would like to offer.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>• An Introduction to your Mac and MacOS using
VoiceOver •
VoiceOver Basics on the Mac: Interaction to Navigation •Basic Web Browsing
on
the Mac with VoiceOver and Safari • VoiceOver and applications on the
Mac •An

be

hour
and an hour and a half?<o:p></o:p></P>

which
ones would be of the most interest to you.<o:p></o:p></P>

community, I will contact you directly with details and set up the initial
